Dennis R. (rapidriver) reviewed on 1/24/2010

Jon Krakauer has created a book that is both a suspense story and history lesson that is not at all dull. This book was actually more fun to read than his "Into Thin Air" but also more along the lines of solid journalism than exciting drama as his previous books tended to be. Krakauer is one of the best non-fiction writers alive today and this book read a lot like "In Cold Blood" which I believe was his intent. If you loved as I did "In Cold Blood" this book will not let you down.
